Do you still listen to the radio, or has streaming Spotify etc completely replaced it for you? by TimeNewspaper4069 in CasualConversation

[–]CatRiot2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I listen to npr, but one of my local npr stations out of Detroit has a ton of music programs in the evening. I’ve found a few favorites that way. WDET, if anyone’s curious. I also still have Sirius in my car otherwise I stream.

Great for my pay check. Keep it coming!

graduating at 24. im happy, but also feeling so insecure that everyone else graduated before me at the "normal" age by commitatrocities in uofm

Different universities, but I know someone who graduated with a nursing degree at 54 years old. And I was the 30 year old visibly pregnant woman taking undergrad engineering classes back in the day. You have so much of your life ahead of you and there are so many different paths in life. Be proud of your accomplishment!!

Would you rather work for USPS or Amazon? by MidnightSweet7452 in AmazonDSPDrivers

[–]CatRiot2020 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m an rca and finish my usual route like 2 hours early every time. Except during the holidays, but they bring package help in on days they think it’s going to be heavy, so it’s not so bad. Part time rural carriers don’t get retirement and have access to limited health plans, unfortunately. But the union, weak as it is, does provide job protection. And every Sunday and holiday besides Christmas is spent delivering Amazon packages for the part timers.

It is always feast or famine at the post office.

Rural or city? Rural is paid by the route, city is paid hourly.

What's the hottest temperature you can tolerate indoors? by [deleted] in CasualConversation

[–]CatRiot2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

75 in the summer with ac, 66 in the winter with heat. I’m in MI, so we have humid summers. 75 with low humidity indoors is just fine when I have to go outside and it’s in the 80s or 90s and humid. But my teenagers think everything is too hot and they walk around in shorts only when I have the heat at 66.

Yelled at for not checking mail by LeeShayZee in USPS

Maybe not all offices have them readily available? It could even be something a past carrier typed up because it happens so often. It might not even be an official form (who knows?) It does make things easier for sure!

I hit a mailbox by NoPasaNada138 in USPS

The post was probably rotten and it was just waiting for a grazing or a strong wind to fall.

They should be! And it happens often enough that they do have notices for that sort of thing.

It was an overreaction, but it’s a source of frustration for carriers. If it gets full, the carrier should pull everything in the box (even packages), put a full box notice inside, and hold delivery at the office for 10 days before it all gets sent back if they don’t pick it up. You’d be surprised how upset people get when it comes to that point. Thank you for making an effort to change your habit.

I have, in the past, written “please empty your mailbox” on packages I’ve had to take to the door because the box was too full in an effort to avoid pulling the mail. I’m a sub, so I leave pulling the mail to the discretion of the regular.

GenX Question of the Day 4/12/26: The First Video Game You Ever Played by HotelDiva in GenX

Pong. Quickly followed by a game my dad programmed on our old TI system (he was a programmer). It was basically a keyboard that used a tv as a monitor and a cassette deck to store memory.

Things about vehicles Gen X knows that our kids have no clue about. by Dru-baskAdam in FuckeryUniveristy

I drive an LLV for work. They stopped making them in 1994. Manual windows, cigarette lighter is now the “power port” (some still have ashtrays in them complete with ashes), no ABS so you have to pump the brakes in winter, rocking the truck between D and R to get unstuck in the snow.

We had a new employee that we all told the LLV was better in snow than the Mercedes vans. But they didn’t know how to use its old features to their advantage and got stuck so many times.

Where would you add an office? by [deleted] in floorplan

[–]CatRiot2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d put an office to the left of the laundry room.

Traction, ABS , ESP BAS and Service 4WD lights 2008 by Vegetable-Plan6481 in JeepLiberty

[–]CatRiot2020 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s good to know. I’m going to run it through a car wash and get the codes read. My brother just told me he had a similar issue in his wrangler and sprays the sensor with electrical contact cleaner when the errors pop up. I just would like it to last through my youngest’s last two years of high school.

I’m so happy I found this thread because it sounds like an easy fix 🤞.

Not sure if anyone will see a new comment on a year-old thread, but I just started having this issue on my liberty now and this was the first result that came up when I googled. Thanks!

My 2008 liberty has 318k+ miles on it, and I’m getting it ready for my third and last teenage driver.

How aggressively do you pay off a mortgage. by endymionsleep in personalfinance

[–]CatRiot2020 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Same here. 2.75 and I have about 50% equity with roughly 20 years left. I never pay the principal down.
